baDi farz-ashna hai saba kare KHub kaam hisab ka

tesha-ba-kaf ko aaina-gar kah diya gaya

isne dekha hai sar-e-bazm sitamgar ki tarah

dhup aati nahin ruKH apna badal kar dekhen

ab kisi andhe safar ke liye tayyar hua chahta hai

ye raat Dhalte Dhalte rakh gai jawab ke liye

itni sari shamon mein ek sham kar lena

fasil-e-jism pe shab-KHun shararten teri

lahje ka ras hansi ki dhanak chhoD kar gaya

aur kuchh yaad nahin ab se na tab se puchho

jo na hon kuchh tashrih-talab kam hote hain

ab is sada kahani ko naya ek moD dena tha

raqs-e-junun ki garmi-e-tasir dekhna
